Swipe left to draw London! 🇬🇧

I thought this was a fun way to show you step by step on how I made my London Collage drawing😁

I started by drawing the larger pieces first, then added in drawing to fill in the smaller spaces - I really love how this turned out 😍

This was obviously inspired by my trip to London! I wanted to draw parts and pieces of what I saw and experienced on my trip 🥰

Have you ever been to London? 🇬🇧
